What We Can Achieve Together:
The Public Funding Manager will play an instrumental role within a dynamic team of professionals working together to deliver public funding needed for highly impactful conservation projects around the world that benefit people, nature and climate goals, including across Africa, Latin America, Asia Pacific and the Caribbean.
The Public Funding Manager is primarily responsible for managing the development and submission of high-quality project proposal applications to European public funding agencies that support TNC’s Shared Conservation Agenda programs in Europe and globally. The successful candidate will work with both conservation delivery and policy teams from around the TNC global network to ensure that funding proposals are crafted in a clear and compelling manner, communicate the technical and scientific nature of TNC’s global programs and meet the requirements of European public funders, including for gender equity and social inclusion, financial rigour, and convincing theories of change. Excellent writing, analytical and research skills are essential, as is the ability to collaborate well with diverse teams and deliver through others.
She/he/they will help to develop strategic partnerships with relevant European public funding agencies, conservation organizations, and other partners, to deliver long-lasting results across all TNC’s priority goals, including initiatives that help to: tackle climate change; support sustainable food systems; conserve precious habitats and ecosystems; deliver innovative approaches for financing nature and climate; empower Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities; and ultimately protect the lands and water upon which all life depends.
We’re Looking for You:
We are looking for self-motivated, detail oriented, and highly organized candidates who have experience developing public partnerships, managing public sector funding processes, and working in business development teams.
The successful candidate will serve as team lead or team member for public funding development projects, depending on the proposal. She/he/they therefore must have experience preparing public funding proposals, including drafting technical text, budgets, theories of change, and log frames. A solid understanding of budgets as they relate to grant proposals is necessary. You will have a good understanding of the policy and funding priorities of target public funding agencies/departments, including both technical requirements and broader cross-cutting themes such as gender equity and social inclusion, safeguarding, and Overseas Development Assistance criteria.
You will manage (or establish when needed) critical tracking tools which are essential to building and maintaining strong public sector partnerships, including an information database for proposals, an opportunity pipeline, a calendar of submissions and other deadlines, and an overview of how project teams are delivering to public funders’ delivery milestones. You will also advise colleagues on European public funding opportunities and requirements, conducting public funding research as necessary, to develop and maintain a solid understanding of relevant trends and developments.
You have the ability to prioritize projects to keep multiple projects moving in a timely manner, meet deadlines and manage supplemental material required for proposals. You are able to gather and synthesize information and communicate in a convincing and succinct form.
You enjoy building and facilitating internal networks and cross-team collaboration, coordinating other colleagues’ inputs towards shared end goals. You possess the ability to communicate sensitively with a diverse range of colleagues and partners from different cultures and backgrounds.
You will have the opportunity to develop in-depth knowledge about the latest trends in conservation, including opportunities to visit and experience some of our conservation work on the ground. Over time, you will develop and maintain a clear understanding of TNC’s regional and global programs and their direction.
This is one of two Public Funding Manager roles we are currently hiring for – this position focuses on public sector funding opportunities within the UK, France, and from EU institutions, therefore prior experience working in these markets will be advantageous. The accompanying position focuses on public sector funding opportunities within Germany and German-speaking countries, as well as from the Nordic region. From time-to-time, both roles may have the opportunity to support, and gain experience of working towards, public funding opportunities from other countries within Europe.
Are you looking for a career to help people and nature? Guided by science, TNC creates innovative, on-the-ground solutions to our world’s toughest challenges so that people and nature can thrive together.

Business & Human Rights Resource Centre is seeking an experienced researcher to conduct and help manage our work on human rights along the renewable energy value chain, from extraction of transition minerals to renewable energy installations, and support our work on contributing to a just and equitable energy transition.
Details
- Reports to: Programme Head: Just Energy Transition and Natural Resources
- Salary: GBP 37,500-40,000, commensurate with experience and adjusted according to location (the range is aligned to London cost of living; if based in another location, the range will be adjusted down accordingly)
- Closing date: 12 April 2024
- Location: UK, Germany or remote. If remote, candidates must be located in CET-1 / CET+2 time zones (GMT/WAT/EET/EAT/SAST or equivalent)
- Contract type: Full time (35 hours/week), 1-year (with possibility of extension)
- Annual leave: 24 days/year
- Start: As soon as possible
About the organization
Business & Human Rights Resource Centre works with diverse allies and partners to put human rights at the core of companies’ business models and end abuse; to support communities and workers in securing their rights and accountability for corporate abuse; and to encourage governments to create the right regulation and incentives to uphold human rights in business. We are a global organization rooted in five continental regions, comprised of a Global Team of 80. Global Team members work with a rich network of human rights advocates in ten languages, and place strong emphasis on our alliances with grassroots organisations facing often profound inequalities of power in protecting their rights. The efforts inform our ability to influence responsible business, investors, and governments for transformative change.
Our work covers the full gamut of human rights in business, with particular focus on three thematic programmes: just energy transition and natural resources; accountable digital technologies; and workers’ rights in global supply chains. These are strengthened by three cross cutting themes: civic freedoms and human rights defenders; corporate legal accountability; and racial and gender justice.
About the position
The Just Energy Transition and Natural Resources programme is focused on advancing human rights in business, in support toa fast and fair transition to clean energy and zero carbon economies. We seek to promote human rights across the renewable energy and batteries value chain. We are focused on mining for transition minerals, the installation of renewable energy where the fast transition is increasingly endangered by companies’ poor human rights record and policies, the lack of investor due diligence, and the absence of adequate regulation. A just transition will be one that, at minimum, ensures respect for human rights, fair negotiations, and shared prosperity with workers and communities.
The successful candidate will help lead strategic research and analysis on the renewable energy value chain from a corporate accountability perspective. This will include generating new insights and propositions for a more just energy transition through the analysis of structural causes of corporate abuse in these supply chains. In particular, the researcher will help us deepen our efforts to embed human rights, and protect and amplify the voices of human rights defenders, as an essential part of the response to the climate crisis, and a core component of the global work towards a just transition. As the Resource Centre expands its advocacy on improving the human rights policies and practices of companies in the renewable energy value chain, the senior researcher will play a key role in supporting:
- Research on community engagement, community equity models and other forms of benefit-sharing – focusing in particular on (i) unpacking cases and recommendations for ‘meaningful engagement’ with communities in the context of transition minerals mining projects, (ii) examples of Indigenous co-ownership and ownership of renewable energy and mining projects;
- Regional teams in their work on local just transitions and evidence of corporate abuses in the context of the current boom of exploration, licensing of transition minerals mining projects;
- Advocacy towards and engagement with investors and their coalitions on our just energy transition messaging and core products - Transition Minerals Tracker, Renewable Energy Benchmark, and investor guidance;
- Development of policy recommendations on the just energy transition from a business & human rights perspective; and
- Representation of the programme in key civil society fora and coalitions.
Responsibilities
Responsibilities will include:
- Conduct and help manage in-depth research: design and help lead team in delivering high impact research and analyses that assess company abuses, policy, and practice in renewable energy and transition mineral mining sectors, particularly through the team’s core products including the Transition Mineral Tracker, Renewable Energy and Human Rights Benchmark, and resources and guidance for investors. Lead on research and writing of a briefing focused on examples and lessons learnt around engagement with communities in the mining sector. Play a leadership role in identifying opportunities and advancing the Resource Centre’s research beyond its current core products along the renewable energy value chain, including research on transition minerals and value chains, for the theme.
- Develop high quality written and digital materials: Curate and write compelling content for our website and outreach, including reports, blog posts, briefing notes and papers, and articles to be submitted to relevant media outlets.
- Conduct outreach with companies: take up allegations of abuse with company HQs to seek responses to allegations of human rights abuse, conduct follow-up outreach for remedy and build relationships to enhance human rights due diligence;
- Strategically engage with investors and their coalitions on the salient risks of the sector and coordinate workshops, roundtables, and knowledge sharing spaces, bringing together various stakeholders. Sustain and help build our active network of CSO partners and allies.
- Coordinate with BHRRC regional programmes: Work with regional researchers and our global network of external partners to identify cases of impacts of companies on human rights – with a focus on transition minerals, in order to strengthen our research process, and to strategically identify allegations of abuse for deeper-dive investigations and coordinated advocacy globally.
- Track policy and legislation: Keep abreast of, and in some cases participate in, relevant legal and policy developments, including, e.g., legislation regarding mandatory human rights due diligence, critical minerals, and promotion of renewable energy.
- People management and team support: In coordination with the Head of Programme, closely work with and support a team comprised of a researcher and a research assistant, share administrative tasks, and assist with the management and training of staff members where appropriate. <span data-ccp-charstyle="normaltextrun" style="-webkit-user-drag: none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; user-select: text;background-image:var(--urlContextualSpellingAndGrammarErrorV2, url(" data:image="" svg+xml;base64,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"='));" border-bottom:transparent;background-position-x:0%;background-position-y:100%'="">Possibility of line managing at least one person.
